Practical Law Publishes Q&A with Drinker Biddle TCPA Team

On July 10, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a Declaratory Ruling and Order that has far-reaching consequences for companies facing exposure to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), which provides for statutory damages of $500 up to $1500 per call, text message or fax with no cap on aggregate damages. The Declaratory Ruling is being challenged in a consolidated appeal before the D.C. Circuit on a number of grounds.
